Self-compassion makes a lot of sense. I think it's also about what self-esteem can become tied to--in my case, things like good grades, being a "good girl" (like writing thank-you notes promptly, following the rules, not causing trouble). Where self-compassion should be able to be there no matter what. Not sure I was ever taught that piece.
Haven't seen that show--maybe I should check it out?
